[Closed] Why do people sign their posts?

Because traditionally you put your name at the end of what you have written if it is a letter or some such thing? I quite like it (although so far haven't actually done it) but then I like to use "proper" sentences, grammar and spellings in text messages as well.

Always make folk look self important to me.

Habit I think for me when I've done it because I'm always emailing and my witty forum name is actually my name, minus th '82' obviously.

It's polite isn't it? Is it OK to do it if you started the post?

My names not "Dave" so I'd feel a bit fraudulent using that.

This needs to be sorted out before someone gets really hurt.

sincerely yours,

Oi...

I'm Sparticus.

I never do it in posts but I always include salutation and finish with my name in texts and emails

...and I hate getting texts from people who assume I know who they are from their number 🙂

I usually initial my texts but not posting here
